This will print a grouped list of Perl's functions, like the "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.

Overview

It exports the following variables:

%Kinds

This holds a hash-of-lists. Each list contains the functions in the category the key denotes.

%Type

In this hash each key represents a function and the value is the category. The category can be a comma separated list.

%Flavor

In this hash each key represents a function and the value is a short description of that function.

%Type_Description

In this hash each key represents a category of functions and the value is a short description of that category.

@Type_Order

This list of categories is used to produce the same order as the "Perl Functions by Category" in perlfunc section.
